I think if the Harvest Blood temp HP scaled at all, or the downside didn't cause you to take damage every single *cast*, then it would work better. That said, I really enjoy the idea
So I got a question if your say lvl 5 and your at 25/30 and gained the drain condition do you go to 20/25? Or 25/25?
so you cant infuse your stike with a cantrip?? you just cantrip and normal attack ?
funny thing, hemophiliac doesn't mean "love bloods" it's a disease that make your blood not coagulate
I want to play a goblin blood rager.
This plays how I wish the remastered oracle would play. Very on theme type risk/reward actions. They have some like Debilitating Dichotomy (8) and Blaze of Revelation (18) plus a few more but overall felt like a lot of missed opportunities.
Another question, do u know if the persistent bleed damage would stack? Like if u hit a target in successive rounds.
Your idea of Hemophiliac is technically accurate in its root word. However Hemophilia is a disease in which your blood can't coagulate naturally so even a bruise or minor cut can be dangerous.
Three concepts I love: gishes, power-at-a-cost/downsides, life stealing
I'm gonna have a blast whenever I get to play this. It seems like it's gonna have quite a bit of options, too
I think a big mistake was using Drained, instead of making a custom condition.
Cycling Drained would not be so bad – if it wasn't for always loosing a level worth of current HP as well. If it didn't do that, it would be instantly more usable. They probably could cut it down to only the Status penalties to CON.
I feel like these Archetypes needed another pass, more playtesting, custom conditions.
Personally I am extremely dissapointed. This archetype looks extremely awkward to play. A fury instinct with sorcerer archetype has more appeal even with spells costing an extra action.
Sure strike+ strike + harvest blood is a decent 1st round tempo just to get yourself going. Note that cantrips are separate from your spell repertoire and shouldn't give you the drained condition so you can save those once your tempo is set up.
Do cantrips cause drained or just spell slots?
Finished the video and still trying to figure out how it’s awesome.
At first I didn't like class archetypes but now I see them as a way for them to add "classes" to the game that would normally be considered too similar to another one and that is pretty cool. I don't know that we would have gotten something like this otherwise.
Question: Do liches bleed?
Spell Drinker is even less appealing than it sounds. They "fixed" it with "If you have Surging Blood Magic, you can add the spell at 4th rank. If you have Exultant Blood Magic, you can add the spell at 7th rank,” because you won't be able to cast 6th-rank spells until level 16 and you won't cast 8th-rank until level 20. Fortunately, they errata'd it to give you the 'master spellcasting benefits', because as written, you'd NEVER be able to cast 8th-rank spells…
Question: What happens if you later archetype into a repertoire caster, such as Sorcerer? What about a prepared caster such as Wizard? (regarding their interaction with your bloodraging spells and abilities)
I have a question: Would Hematocritical's effect work for spells that target multiple creatures? If, for example, i target 2 or more creatures with a Fireball, would they all have to make a save with the misfortune effect?
For the best bang for your (drained) buck, Spiritual Armament or other spells that let you make multiple attacks with one casting are solid choices. Sustain, strike, harvest blood.
Technically the Sustain action wouldn't get the rage trait, but at that level of hair-splitting the Cast a Spell action doesn't either so the archetype doesn't work at all…
I think siphon magic could be very useful. A lot of fiends and fey have spells they can cast even if they're not typically used and those aren't uncommon enemies
If I am not mistaken that resistance applies only once to the whole attack kind. Since you gain resistance to damage dealt not to all damage dealt… Kind of like how the weakness of the thamaturge works.
